totally depends on what amp and guitar you are using. the best classic rock sound comes from amp distortion.

we need to know the rest of your gear

I'll have to put the Classic T models on my to-try list. Shame the finish options there are Anachronism Gold, Nuclear Waste and Aged Clown, because in principle the plaintop is right up my alley.

pretty shit gear but ahh well i've got the epiphone les paul custom and roland 80x cube + i have the boss me- 70 at the moment and i have some top tones out of that just looking into getting some seperate pedals Xx

In all honesty if you want classic rock tones your better off investing in a tube amp - the Cube you have isn't a bad amp but even with pedals you're never going to replicate the depth of tone and dynamics of a tube amp and that's most likely what's missing in the sound you're currently getting.

it's debatable if pedals (certainly under the £100 mark) will do classic rock any better than the cube's amp models...

Unless you're playing through a Squier SP-10 or some acoustic amp I'm not sure how you couldn't achieve an ACDC tone, to some extent. It's like the easiest rock tone to achieve.

Getting a perfect AC/DC tone is harder than you think. I have gotten very close to the "brown sound", AFD, but never have been able to get Malcolm's tone. Part of his tone is hitting the strings very hard, a GRETCH, and a clean Marshall (if only more people thought that way). Angus's is a bit easier, that's just the usual Gibson/Marshall combo. And how simple it is to play like him. He's overrated, IMO. Malcolm is what makes AC/DC have such a big sound.
